Liverpool Street Station

Liverpool Street Station is a central London railway terminus and London Underground station located on Liverpool Street in the Bishopsgate neighborhood of the City of London, Middlesex, England. It opened in 1874 as a replacement for Bishopsgate Station as the Great Eastern Railway's main London terminus, and, by 1895, it had the largest number of platforms for any London railway terminal. Amid the 1917-18 German bomber offensive during World War I, German Gotha bombers dropped bombs around the station, killing 162 people (including 18 schoolchildren). During the Interwar period, thousands of child refugees arrived in London via Liverpool Street Station as part of the Kindertransport program, memorialized by the Kindertransport - The Arrival monument in front of the station. It was again attacked by the IRA in the 1993 Bishopsgate bombing and by al-Qaeda during the 2005 7/7 attacks.
